Some real intellectual powerhouses in the Dem youth/youngins corps. I hope they are being taught the nitty gritty ways to negotiate bills through the House and Senate. The various arcane rules can be mind boggling.

...of our Democratic Party .
Those giants of public service of the past & the present.

I hope they can appreciate, learn from & hold admiration for, the long line that has walked this walk before they arrived.

I'll wait...

to Leader Pelosi! She's had a lot of detractors over the years but she beat them all! Stood the hell up the Traitor, too

And, Thanks to Majority Leader, Sen Schumer for leading the Charge on the American Relief package , too! Best of "Figuring it Out Luck to him & our Country!



“So what,” Brown said. “Nobody cares about that. What they care about is, did we deliver on unemployment? Did we deliver on vaccines? Did we deliver on pensions? We cut the rate of child poverty in half. Think about that.”

LBJ, having to operate with most of today's rabid trumpists in his own party, nevertheless, among other big advances, forced the end of 70 years of institutionalized Jim Crow.

He did it knowing full well that the liberal Democratic party would be paying the political bill for that for decades.

He knew of course that it would cause America's conservatives, including the rabid Southern con faction in his party, to finally consolidate in the Republican Party. He could not have foreseen the cesspool of unprincipled corruption and betrayal the GOP degenerated into. I think.
